window tint that's energy efficient

Energy Management Films

Energy efficiency that's simple and cost effective

Today's commercial and residential buildings use glass more than ever to create spacious and light filled environments. But this can cause problems with energy efficiency and in particular, heat gain, along with increased glare, and the premature fading of furniture, carpets or display stock. High Performance Window Films (HPWF) have a simple and cost effective solution to these problems with their comprehensive range of professionally installed Energy Management Films (EnergyMF).

EnergyMF Benefits include:

There are many benefits of window tinting including; rejection of heat, reduction of glare and block out of damaging UV rays. See below for more benefits of EnergyMF window tint.

Increased comfort
EnergyMF makes living and working areas more enjoyable all year round as 80% of solar energy is blocked, eliminating hot spots. Occupants are more comfortable and productive and able to enjoy their view of the outside world.

Energy savings up to 35%*
Depending on the EnergyMF film specified, energy savings of up to 35%* can be achieved. Also solar heat gain can be reduced by up to 80%, glare reduced by over 85%, and overĀ  99% of UV radiation blocked.

Films from HPWF are subject to the most stringent quality assurance procedures and are made from the highest quality polyester films. They're a laminate of premium quality polyester films which sandwich a metal alloy-coated base film, together with special strength distortion-free adhesives. The production process finishes with a patented scratch resistant coating which is the world's toughest, in comparison to other window films. They are available in clear, tinted, reflective, semi-reflective, non reflective and coloured versions. *

Energy savings of up to 35% in cooler or mixed climates can be achieved where all glass surfaces are treated. Please consult the Specifiers Guide for more details, Available from an HPWF representative

Reduces glare by over 85%
EnergyMF can also reduce glare on computer screens by over 85%, helping to eliminate eye stress and fatigue on personnel. Additionally it will help protect computer software and hardware from overheating.

Blocks out over 99% of UV rays
EnergyMF provides high level protection from the sun's damaging Ultra Violet rays, blocking over 99%. EnergyMF films have UV absorbers impregnated into the film, unlike other manufacturers who put them into their adhesives instead. Testing has shown that films, impregnated with UV absorbers, will be protecting against UV rays long after these other products have lost their ability to screen UV.

All EnergyMF products have been certified to the maximum protection rating of UPF50+ by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.

Protects fabric and furnishings
The UV reduction qualities of EnergyMF help prevent carpets, furniture and fittings from fading and deteriorating. It is generally accepted that UV radiation is responsible for 40% of all fading. The other factors are heat transmission (25%), visible light (25%) and miscellaneous factors (10%) like moisture, dye fastness and artificial lighting.

No window film can totally stop fading but EnergyMF goes a long way towards preventing its effects from damaging your fit out or interior and other assets.

Exceptional quality
HPWF were the first window film company in Australia and New Zealand to have their films tested and rated with "cooling stars" and continue to lead the market, providing products of exceptional quality, performance and durability.

EnergyMF provides a host of additional benefits and is warranted against bubbling, loss of optical clarity, cracking, crazing and demetallising.

Manufacturer Quality Assured to ISO9001

Energy Modelling Analysis Available
EnergyMF window film enhances protection & comfort - FREE energy modelling analysis delivers customized energy solutions

The application of an EnergyMF product that blocks up to 80% of solar heat can slash building energy operating costs and quickly pay for itself by reducing the heat load on airconditioning systems and saving on maintenance costs. EnergyMF 'Low E' film will also help prevent heat loss through glass areas during the winter months as warmth is radiated back inside.

To estimate the energy savings, payback period and the return on your investment ask about an obligation-free energy audit. This will take into account a variety of factors such as the building's orientation, geographic location, climatic conditions and the effect of hot and cold areas in the building over different elevations. An advanced HPWF computer modelling program will analyze energy usage and operating costs. A detailed report will be provided supporting a window film solution that maximises the energy performance of the building.

Energy modeling benefits include:
  1. Slash utility costs
  2. Obligation-free energy audit
  3. Pay-back estimates
  4. Future returns estimated
  5. Maintenance costs reduced
  6. Large range means customised window film solutions
Low Internal Reflections
Outstanding views night and day with the Vista range of window film

The innovative Vista range of films delivers a virtually uninterrupted, non-reflective outlook, night and day, similar to clear glass. It also provides day time privacy unlike clear glass, so that you can enjoy the view without those on the outside looking in.

Manufactured using state-of-the-art technology they utilise a UV stabilised, high-grade polyester incorporating a patented colour impregnation process. This stabilises colour fastness and reduces internal light reflection to under 13%. With such exceptionally low internal and external light reflection, Vista films are a superb option for offices, shop fronts, homes, and commercial buildings with large expanses of glass and city, country or water views.

Added Safety
HPWF also have a selection of EnergyMF products with added safety and security characteristics that can help mitigate or prevent injuries and property damage. In the event of breakage, the glass is held in place by the film, secured with a patented dry adhesive system that forms a chemical bond between the film and the glass. In addition EnergyMF has a class 'A' fire rating (test ASTM E84) and as such will not contribute to being a fire hazard.

Visual Impact
EnergyMF comes in a range of colours which can dramatically enhance the buildings architecture. The exterior takes on a uniform appearance, with personal effects and busy interiors hidden from view. EnergyMF also provides the additional benefit of privacy by letting the light in but shielding the occupants from prying eyes.

New Dual Climate Energy Control Film Available
Spectrally selective window film effective in Summer or Winter - Dual climate energy control film

Envirotec is a range of spectrally selective window films enhanced with a microscopic metallic coating, optically designed to reflect certain electromagnetic radiation wavelengths but remain transparent to others. They block infrared radiation (heat) but transmit a high proportion of visible solar radiation (sunlight). This has a dual climate benefit as in summer, heat from the sun is reflected away. In winter, some of the heat from outside passes through the glass and radiant heat from indoors is reflected back inside. This makes for more energy efficient windows whatever the season. In addition amenities are enhanced with unimpeded views and daylight can be used to full advantage to illuminate interiors and help reduce lighting costs.

Suggested applications:
  1. Restaurants, art galleries, commercial showrooms, corporate offices.
  2. Homes with large glass expanses, views and sunrooms.
  3. Any glassed area where energy control is required without compromising light transmission.

Improve Energy Ratings
The Window Energy Rating Scheme enables windows to be labelled and rated for their annual energy impact for both heating and cooling. This star rating system also applies to window film. The scheme is independent of any one manufacturer and is jointly owned by the Australian Window Association (AWA) and the Australian Glass and Glazing Association (AGGA). Its development was underwritten by the federal government's Australian Greenhouse Office.

EnergyMF products demonstrate high efficiencies when rated, so ask your HPWF representative how to stop spending and start saving with EnergyMF.
